The AIlsa had, of a truth, enter.

hopping up all around the vessel,
their huge shouts looking like
black shining domes and their nos

The water was - smooth as a
millpond, and the Ailsa forged a.
head at full speed. Suddenly there
was a slight treamol Of the vessel.
A huge sperm whale had grazed
the bow on the port side. A mo-
ment later there was a shock and
the vessel trembled like an aspen
leaf from stem to stern. The sea
monster had passed under the ALL

into his vitals.
AS the steamer passed on the

his blood squirting fom the wound.
Over and over, like a gigantic ami

and squirming in agony. The sea
was dyed red With blood for yards

the death struggles Of the dying
giant of the ocean.
The struggle did not last long.
The whale, with convulsiye shud.

steamer continued on her way.
She was not in the least injured BY

political oQnvass now progressing
in that state. In these speeches he
paid particular attention to the

speeches, while running for a state
Office, it was meet that his attempts

should be exposed by a distinguish

Governor Gordon has done this in
a manner that entities him to the
thapks of the democratic party
everywhere. He has yindicated
his state and his section, and
shown that the attacks made upon
them are tricks Of paltry dema

party or selfish purposes,

And finding much to suit his taste,

ed what proportion Of bail, ex-
changed by hostile armies, will hit

is to solve it exactly, some approx

the number of balls - estimated
at 90, 006,0 600 which were fired
by the Germans in the war of
1901. The French army lost in
the dead and wounded, about
lao, 900 men. According to this
only one BAH out Of 143 fred hit
its man, out of seven hit was acts

only one rife bail in S58 proved
fatal. Ii it is further considerd
that the number OF men wounded
aud killed by the guns Of the ar

estimate, it may safely be said
that none over one rifle ball in a
